During his first term, Trump implemented a significant travel ban via executive order in January 2017, temporarily barring entry to the United States for citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. It also indefinitely banned Syrian refugees and suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for four months, while reducing refugee admissions.

Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway warned Friday that inside President Donald Trump’s grievance-filled speech at the Department of Justice hours earlier was a declaration of war on the legal community and U.S. Constitution.

President Donald Trump, just 54 days into his second term, declared himself “the chief law enforcement officer in our country” and labeled two major news organizations, CNN and MSNBC, as “illegal,” while further denouncing their coverage as “illegal.” His remarks Thursday afternoon were delivered to officials at the U.S. Department of Justice, in an appearance that shattered a decades-old norm designed to insulate the department from political interference—a safeguard established in response to President Richard Nixon’s abuses of power. Trump’s statements have drawn sharp criticism for their authoritarian tone and direct attack on press freedom, sparking alarm.

“I believe that CNN and MSNDC,” said Trump (video below), using his own derogatory twist on MSNBC’s name, “who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they’re really corrupt and they’re illegal. What they do is illegal.”
